100th of a millisecond time for more precise game scores.

I like the implementation of the millisecond feature of the clock for time recording. But it needs to be more precise because if you have games decided by bullet time clock settings could cause disputes as to which side hit the last move in time to make time controls. To be more accurate I believe Lichess needs to improve this to let games show time clock countdowns using 100th of a millisecond time displays. So this would add two extra zeros to accomodate the new format but in the end this increases accuracy dramatically for critical time scrambles.

Does it really matter though? If in bullet your clock suddenly has a 100th of a millisecond, I don't think you'll have time to look at your clock. Also, I think the clocks are pretty precise. It's like a countdown clock. Whoever's clock hits zero first, they lose.

100th of milliseconds.

Do you know that browsers render at most 60 frames per second? That's one frame every 16ms.

Any duration shorter than 16ms is irrelevant.

Alright then. How about 16th of a millisecond?

16the of a millisecond is 256 times more precise than you need.

Disputes in bullet matches may happen but it's just one game. It's already good that lichess can take 15 second Ultrabullet games and at the same time have up to 60,000 players on it and on top of that having accurate milliseconds all the way to ten.
100th Millisecond would require lots technical stuff and it's not worth doing that for bullet games.

a 100th of a millisecond accuracy means measuring a second/100000. given the fact that we are not measuring black holes but playing chess and human reaction time is not faster than 0.05 seconds (nowhere near 0.000001), i came to the conclusion that most complains and requests or update critiques in the forums are posted by people who a) cannot do the proper math and b) ask for unreasonable things (like the guy who asked for a server to be set up near him because he had bad internet connection).

"But it needs to be more precise" yes sure and then maybe you buy a supercomputer and the fastest connection on earth for personal chess games, to process the 0.000001 second accuracy
